Ascariasis is a disease caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides.[1] Infections have no symptoms in more than 85% of cases, especially if the number of worms is small.[1] Symptoms increase with the number of worms present and may include shortness of breath and fever in the beginning of the disease.[1] These may be followed by symptoms of abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.[1] Children are most commonly affected, and in this age group the infection may also cause poor weight gain, malnutrition, and learning problems.[1][2][5]
Infection occurs by eating food or drink contaminated with Ascaris eggs from feces.[2] The eggs hatch in the intestines, the larvae burrow through the gut wall, and migrate to the lungs via the blood.[2] There they break into the alveoli and pass up the trachea, where they are coughed up and may be swallowed.[2] The larvae then pass through the stomach for a second time into the intestine, where they become adult worms.[2] It is a type of soil-transmitted helminthiasis and part of a group of diseases called helminthiases.[6]
Prevention is by improved sanitation, which includes improving access to toilets and proper disposal of feces.[1][7] Handwashing with soap appears protective.[8] In areas where more than 20% of the population is affected, treating everyone at regular intervals is recommended.[1] Reoccurring infections are common.[2][9] There is no vaccine.[2] Treatments recommended by the World Health Organization are the medications albendazole, mebendazole, levamisole, or pyrantel pamoate.[2] Other effective agents include tribendimidine and nitazoxanide.[2]
About 0.8 to 1.2 billion people globally have ascariasis, with the most heavily affected populations being in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia.[1][10][11] This makes ascariasis the most common form of soil-transmitted helminthiasis.[10] As of 2010 it caused about 2,700 deaths a year, down from 3,400 in 1990.[12] Another type of Ascaris infects pigs.[1] Ascariasis is classified as a neglected tropical disease.[6]

Is worms coming out of the nose or else a sign that they are leaving or that there are too many? I've been treating them for a long time but not sure why are they coming out so much

Inches? No wag eggs are 40 inches.
What if we have a squiggling wiggling in front of our upper abdomen? Where you can see it?
A sensation of squiggling or wiggling in the upper abdomen could have various causes. It might be related to gastrointestinal issues, muscle contractions, or even anxiety. If it's causing discomfort, persists, or is associated with other symptoms, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment or interventions based on their findings.
@@MedicalCentric Was thinking flukes or ascaris. That would be unpleasant.
can it travel into the Back
& Spine causing PAIN ?!!
Ascariasis is a parasitic infection caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides. The adult worms typically reside in the small intestine, and while they can migrate to various organs, they do not usually travel into the back or spine. However, severe complications can arise if the worms block the intestinal lumen or migrate to other organs through the bloodstream, potentially causing issues such as liver abscesses or respiratory problems. Direct involvement with the spine causing pain is not a common manifestation of ascariasis. If you're experiencing back or spine pain, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause, as there are numerous conditions unrelated to parasitic infections that can contribute to such symptoms.
